2/10 Poor

The staff were very nice and welcoming. The room was in order however upon preparing to take a shower I was greeted by a very large cockroach on the inside of the shower curtain. I did let the staff know and a room upgrade was offered however I had already done an upgrade. I do feel the dust around the air conditioning vents should also have been cleaned.

Service was impeccable! Our room was clean and ready at check-in. I reserved a room with the whirlpool tub, The whirlpool jets were not working but the huge tub was still amazing! There was plenty of parking space. The casino is a little crowded, but there was a concert beforehand where we got $10 in free credit to play, so that was to be expected. It is very smokey. We ate at The Spotted horse. Our waitress was amazing and so was the food. The sweet potato mash is like a dessert in itself.

Evangeline Downs is the best property in Opelousas, hands down. I would rather stay there every time we're there. The rooms are great, they're clean, and there's not a lot of people hanging around. Every one is going about their businesss.
